Blue Angel Fire, NM
Fat City drops 395 vertical feet over 1,448 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 90 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 36th steepest of 88 named runs at Angel Fire. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Fat City gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 10,340 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
